Hi,

You are right, you have gaps between your upper teeth, however you have slight anterior crossbite on your right lower canine: it means lower tooth/right canine is overlapping upper tooth right canine. There is a chance you have posterior crossbite on the right but picture won't allow to see it.

For that reason anterior crossbite, possible posterior crossbite ----you have to get the braces, invisalign won't be to efficient

Usually any orthodontic office before your diagnosis we have to collect comprehensive orthodontic records: includes Xray, models of your jaws, several intraoral photos and based on that only the dentist will give you specifics like how long it will take and stuff like that.Hope that helped and good luck,George Sahakyan DDS
